Social Audio is no doubt the trendy thing in 2021 but it wasn't till June of 2021 that the wars between platforms have really hit the mainstream. Clubhouse was the first to market and there were some side apps popping up but just this week Facebook Live Audio and Spotify Greenroom took over the headlines. But it's easy to compare features and talk about startup app vs big brand app or startup focused on community vs big brand focused on audio... In this episode, I get away from debating which is...

Three months ago, I had the opportunity to apply for a creator coin on Rally.IO. After researching, I figured it fit well within my influencer marketing, affiliate marketing, brand sponsorship, and executive mastermind blueprint. I could give people the option to purchase with dollars or m coin… 3 months later, and man, was I wrong…. Ok, I guess I wasn’t wrong altogether, but using creator coins in a transactional way is a small aspect of the creator coin value. It’s taken me 3 months of researc...

Live #Podcast Recording of #FOMOFanz the Brian Fanzo show Multistreaming and sponsored by Restream.IO https://restream.io/?ref=PGOMW FOMOFanz began as a selfish content creation method for me. I was already hosting two interview shows, and running two twitter chats, and I had reached a point of live streaming just to live stream was no longer in my brand strategy. But I knew I needed something that would keep me in the live streaming game, but I didn't want to manage another podcast or live show...

There are a ton of tips, blog posts and videos on what you need to do to be successful working from home thanks to the coronavirus forcing so many companies to mandate working from home for their employees. As someone that has worked from home managing teams as a government contractor for 4 years then went back into the office for 2 years and then working from home for the last 5 years as an entrepreneur I thought it would be of value to share what I've learned works and doesn't work both for me...

Over the last 10 days, we've seen massive events such as Facebook's F8, Mobile World Congress, IBM Think, and Oracle ModernCX announce that they were canceling their global conferences in the wake of the coronavirus epidemic. This epidemic is having a global impact and closer to home its decimating the meetings industry, and the question we have to start asking is how should planners, brand marketers, and professional speakers be thinking about the future of live events? Now in context, this dis...

“Done is Better than Perfect” “If you don’t ask you won’t get!” Way back in August of 2018 an “Analytical Nerd with a Soft Spot for Strategy” saw me give a video storytelling workshop in Wichita and reached out via Twitter DM to say she was inspired and a fan. She followed up with supportive messages and offering to collaborate in October and November but it wasn’t until Jan when she nudged me again and provided some SEO analysis of my website and digital footprint did she stop me in my tracks. ...

“We need to attract a younger audience!” “We need to do Snapchat & TikTok as our membership is all over 40” “We want diversity and younger people but I guess they don’t like joining associations!” These are just some of the statements that are made when I’m brought in to give a keynote or workshop with an association as they believe “I have the secret weapon for reaching those pesky kids under the age of 40”. The truth is what they are saying is our membership numbers are going down, our mem...

TikTok took over the social media world in 2019 and as with any new app some people love it, some people bash it and some people are just too overwhelmed to care. I decided to dive in about 18 months ago to see what it was about and I've been on it almost every day since. But funny enough my focus hasn't been about getting TikTok Famous or even how to market on TikTok rather what about this app can we learn from to use in our other marketing. So on this episode I breakdown a wide range of lesson...

On this episode, I share MY TAKE on a couple of buzz heavy marketing experiences that I believe were a combination of controversial, genius and a product of today's world. I can promise you won't hear this take from most marketers or advertising gurus but IMHO all 3 of these examples are great for studying what not to do, what to do and why sometimes doing what you shouldn't becomes the best thing you've done.

The most popular question I’ve gotten over the last 12 months is around what tools do I use to build my personal brand. And more importantly, how do I leverage these tools as part of my overall social strategy. There is no one-size-fits-all secret tool combination for personal branding success. The main reason I haven’t blogged about all my tools is that I use A LOT of tools. And, I don’t believe any tool is the one perfect tool that does everything. On that same note, I don’t believe every pers...

One of the big success elements of the season 1 podcast I did with Amy Landino called "Just Try This" was people felt as if they were sitting on the couch listening to a conversation more so than an interview.
